A 150-kilogram aerial bomb was discovered during construction work in Moscow. As RBC was informed by the Moscow City Internal Affairs Directorate, the dangerous find was discovered the day before by workers on the territory of the Aviatechsnab enterprise, located at Viktorenko St., No. 11.

While digging a channel to lay a pipeline, builders came across a suspicious object. The sappers of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate who arrived at the scene established that it was an aerial bomb of the SAB-100 class from the Great Patriotic War. The bomb was taken to an army training ground and destroyed by detonation.

Let us recall that in early August, during restoration work, another wartime aerial bomb was discovered near the Kievsky railway station in Moscow. The bomb was discovered by construction workers during excavation work literally 10 meters from the station building. Within several minutes, the scene of the incident was cordoned off by police officers.

Explosive technicians who arrived at the scene of the incident, taking all precautions, removed the bomb from the ground, placed it in a special container and took it to the site for destruction.

Another incident occurred on July 11, when an 82-mm mortar shell without a fuse was discovered on Beskudnikovsky Boulevard near garbage containers. On the same day, on Demyan Bedny Street there were two more dangerous finds: during excavation work, workers found two 122-mm high-explosive fragmentation shells from the war years and a 76-mm artillery shell.

On July 10, sappers seized over a ton (1,160 kg) of TNT from a construction pit on the site of the demolished Moscow Hotel. Presumably, the explosives were hidden in the hotel basements in 1941, when German troops were approaching the capital. It was assumed that if the city was captured, its strategic facilities, including the Moscow Hotel, would be blown up.

Six days earlier, on July 7, at the capital's Kapotnya oil refinery, workers during excavation work dug up a 100-mm artillery shell, also from the Great Patriotic War.

It is worth noting that in Moscow there has been a sharp increase in the number of cases of ammunition discovery. This is primarily due to the large amount of construction work. As a rule, ammunition that has lain in the ground for several decades no longer poses a danger.
